We are working hard to develop the necessary skills for reading, and rhyming plays an important part. Rhyming allows children to play with words and makes language fun and engaging. It encourages children to listen to language and notice its sounds.
Take a peek at few activities we have enjoyed this week!
Nothing Rhymes With Orange
After reading Nothing Rhymes with orange, we brainstormed rhyming words ...
... and created our own rhyming posters!
Rhyming BINGO
Rhyming BINGO is so fun it hardly feels like work, but boy, are the children refining their rhyming skills! Students listen to clues I read aloud that rhyme and then they find the picture/word on their card.
Rhyme Bag
We have Rhyme Bags that students will take turns bringing home. Only items that rhyme can be placed inside! Feel free to not only choose items to place inside, but illustrations, words, or images printed from your computer. All items will be returned. Happy rhyming!
A rhyme crime was committed at St. Nicholas!
After reading the book Rhyme Crime, we came back to our room only to discover that many missing items were replaced with things that rhyme!
The chair and the table were replaced with a bear and a cable!
Where is our rug? All we see is a mug!
Then our globe was replaced with a robe.
Goodness, where is the plant? And has anyone seen the dice?
Seems the tape and the glue were replaced with grapes and a shoe!
How will we play with the blocks now?
Thankfully, we tracked down the missing items and were able to solve the rhyme crime with some team work!
Learning in Grade One sure is FUN!
